The rear window glass of the black Santana was smashed. The left front door of the Santana sedan was also broken off. On their way to buy something in the village, they were intercepted by more than 30 young men armed with iron bars and shovels. Not only was their car smashed, but their legs were also slashed... Recalling the incident that happened not long ago, on the morning of July 30th, Mr. Kuang Shaosen from Xiazhai Village, Xiazhai Street, was still shaken. He introduced that on September 9th, 2011, he and his cousin Zhang Baoquan were driving past Kuang Tongyi's house when they were intercepted by more than 30 young men. Both he and his cousin were injured, and their car was smashed. Mr. Kuang Shaosen claimed that he clearly remembered that one of the attackers was a villager named Kuang Shangkao. As for the reason, it might be due to some minor friction between them before, but they never expected such a "cruel hand". Currently, the police have already intervened in the investigation.
During the drive, they were intercepted by more than 30 young men. "At that time, my cousin Zhang Baoquan and I were preparing to go to the store at the west end of the village to buy things," said Mr. Kuang Shaosen. They borrowed their uncle Kuang Zecun's Santana 2000 and drove there. When they drove to the front of fellow villager Kuang Tongyi's house, a minivan was parked in the middle of the road, blocking their way. At that moment, there were more than 30 young men with buzz cuts gathered at Kuang Tongyi's house. Upon seeing Mr. Kuang Shaosen and Zhang Baoquan, they rushed over with iron bars and shovels and started smashing the car driven by Mr. Kuang Shaosen. "At that time, we didn't even react." Mr. Kuang Shaosen told the reporter that when they saw those young men coming over, they realized the danger. They only heard the sound of the rear window glass breaking, then they wanted to quickly get out of the car to avoid it, but two farmers who had spent all their savings of 50,000 yuan to repair the river embankment beside their responsibility field could not withstand the beating and smashing of more than 30 young men.
The car was beaten and smashed, and their legs were cut. "After we stopped the car, they came up and started hitting us," said the injured Mr. Zhang Baoquan. He told the reporter that after leaving his uncle's house, they had driven about 300 meters and stopped in front of Kuang Tongyi's house. Before getting out of the car, they saw more than 30 young men rushing towards them with machetes and iron bars. Without saying a word, they started beating them. It was obvious that they had planned this beforehand. Mr. Zhang Baoquan told the reporter that because they saw him sitting in the back seat of the car, they directly rushed over and started smashing the car with iron bars. Seeing the situation, Mr. Zhang Baoquan quickly opened the right side car door to escape, but at that moment, a man opened the left car door, rushed into the car, and slashed his thigh. Mr. Zhang Baoquan endured the pain and dodged to the right. At that time, the right car door had been opened, and since there were too many people to fit inside, they started kicking and hitting with iron bars. "The entire process lasted about 8 minutes," Mr. Zhang Baoquan introduced. He and his younger brother Mr. Kuang Shaosen were trapped in the car, and the more than 30 young men beat them for 8 minutes before leaving. Subsequently, after regaining some clarity, Mr. Zhang Baoquan immediately took a taxi to the hospital for treatment. When asked who the attackers were, Mr. Kuang Shaosen introduced that he clearly saw Kuang Shangkao, Kuang Zelei, and some others he did not recognize.
More than a hundred people watched but no one cared. Then, the reporter interviewed Ms. Zhang, an eyewitness at the scene. "At that time, Mr. Kuang Shaosen was driving from east to west on the village street," Ms. Zhang told the reporter. When she saw it, many young men had already surrounded Mr. Kuang Shaosen and Mr. Zhang Baoquan. Some were smashing the car while shouting, "Will you get out or not?" Others shouted, "Smash the glass first, see if they will get out!" Since there were so many people surrounding the car, basically no one could see what was happening inside. Ms. Zhang said that not long after, someone shouted, "They got out! Don't let them run away! Hold them down first!" Then, painful cries were heard. There were no less than 300 villagers present, but no one paid attention.
